Through April 27. This weekend's Colorado Symphony Orchestra program is full of surprises, all the pleasant kind. First, the concerts will be conducted by Michael Stern. The maestro, whose full-time job is leading the Kansas City Symphony, is replacing James Gaffigan, who is opting out over the birth of his second child. The program has Beethoven's "Leonore Overture," Brahms' Symphony No. 2 and a few Mozart arias. That brings us to the second surprise, an appearance by Sara Jakubiak, a young soprano with a growing career that began with an apprenticeship at the Santa Fe Opera and now includes gigs worldwide. 7:30 p.m. April 25-26; 2:30 p.m. April 27. Boettcher Concert Hall, Denver Performing Arts Complex. $20-$83. 303-623-7876 or coloradosymphony.org.
